Spix's Woodcreeper (Xiphorhynchus spixii)
About the Spix's Woodcreeper
Spix's woodcreeper (Xiphorhynchus spixii) is a species of bird in the subfamily Dendrocolaptinae of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is endemic to Brazil. Spix's woodcreeper and the elegant woodcreeper (X. elegans) have been treated as conspecific by some authors. Even after the separation, some authors treated what are now two subspecies of the elegant woodcreeper, X. e. insignis and X. e. juruanus, as subspecies of Spix's. Spix's woodcreeper is monotypic. The species' common name and specific epithet commemorate the German naturalist Johann Baptist von Spix (1782-1826).
